http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13142 Bug ID: 13142 Summary: Change "mobile phone" label back to "other phone" Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Templates Assignee: oleonard@myacpl.org Reporter: oleonard@myacpl.org QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: nengard@gmail.com Bug 12407 changed the "other phone" label to "mobile phone." However I think this conflicts with the changes made by Bug 5252 which changed the labels to the more generic "primary," "secondary," and "other" with the intention of letting the patron choose a primary contact number regardless of what kind of phone it is. If the OPAC didn't reflect this change then that was a bug which should have been fixed as a follow-up to 5252. As for the fact that the database column name says "mobile," I don't think that should dictate what kind of data we are storing. At this point we've created a lot of confusion about how patron contact information is stored. Before August 2011 phone data may have been entered according to the specific "home," "work," and "cell" labels. After that date we can assume that new phone data was added according to the priority defined by the new labels. Now with Bug 12407 we have a mix: Two phone fields in which the patron can prioritize contact numbers, and then "mobile," which is very specific. I don't think this makes sense. In my opinion the correct action at this point is to revert the label change made by Bug 12407 and make the corresponding change to the OPAC. If we feel that it's necessary to be able to identify what *kind* of phone number each one is, perhaps the solution is to add new columns to borrowers which can contain authorized values defining phone types: Primary phone: _________ [ Home | Work | Mobile | Etc ] -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
